Chelsea Prep College Fair 2010: Class 344 Princeton Tigers!

Picture
Chelsea Prep's annual college fair is on March 12th, and Class 344 will once again be representing Mrs. Zimmerman's alma mater, Princeton University.  In preparation for the college fair, the students are learning all about Princeton.  They are working on a presentation to share with the rest of the school.  Students are also researching other colleges and universities that are of interest to them, including Fashion Institute of Technology, West Point, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brown University, Columbia University, Dartmouth University, and Brooklyn College.

CLICK HERE to enter the photo gallery for College Fair 2010.  You'll be able to see photos of our class research project, and well as photos from the college fair.

Old Nassau Lyrics

Tune every heart and every voice,
bid every care withdraw;
Let all with one accord rejoice,
in praise of Old Nassau.
In praise of Old Nassau we sing,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Our hearts will give while we shall live, 
Three cheers for Old Nassau!

A couple of Mrs. Zimmerman's Princeton photos ...

Picture
There's Mrs. Zimmerman (as a youngster) hugging the Princeton mascot at a basketball game in Jadwin Gym. Go Tigers!
Picture
Mrs. Zimmerman and her friends at graduation. (Notice that there really is ivy on the building in the background. Yes, that's where 'Ivy League' gets its name!)
Picture
Guess who that is ... Mr. Zimmerman! (This was years before we were married.) Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman graduated the same year from Princeton. His collar is yellow because he graduated from the school of engineering. Mrs. Zimmerman's collar is white because she graduated from the school of arts and sciences. Mrs. Zimmerman majored in European history.
